Live in California? $20 back for reducing power use
« on: August 15, 2016, 12:11:29 AM »
We recently started using Ohm Connect. It's for California power customers. Basically - you choose to use less energy when they send out alerts, and they pay you for it. Help the environment while reducing your power bill AND getting a little change back. No fees and no catch.


You get $20 just for signing up. We've already cashed out about $30 (paypay or venmo). It's legit and it works.

This seems interesting. We have slashed our energy usage such that many days we are only consuming a measely 6kwh. We have no high use energy consuming activities (short of our refrigerator, our clothes dryer is gas). During these scheduled "ohm hours" where we are directed to cut usage, I'm not sure how we could cut down beneath the bone? We don't use much lighting, even at night, never ever use the A/C or dishwasher and dont plug much of anything into our electric sockets. How might an energy efficient household qualify for these rebates?

Maybe my new kill-a-watt meter will uncover untapped savings?

Thanks for the link.

Totally - we are super low users as well. Have converted everything inside to low power stuff/etc. It's still given us a little extra cash though so I'll take it!

We are over $100 now from doing this! They PayPal, and it works - we've done it several times now.
